Infrared heating is the perfect choice for churches and other hard to heat buildings because no money is wasted heating vast quantities of air. Because infrared works through radiation, and not convection like traditional central heating systems, it heats people directly, as well as walls and floors. It also retains this heat and continues to release it even after heating is turned off. It’s a completely safe form of radiation – the same that heats you when the sun is shining.
Many churches have been around for hundreds of years and need to be preserved for future generations. With infrared, there’s no danger of leaking plumbing damaging walls or the precious contents of the church. Unlike central heating systems, infrared heaters are simply wired into the mains, so there’s no pipework. They prevent damp and mold forming, keeping walls warm so condensation doesn’t form. Another particularly niche advantage of infrared in churches is that it won’t affect the conditions required for preserving the organ, as it does not promote humidity.
